使用pathlib在Python 3.6上工作的解决方案。

from pathlib import Path

sum([f.stat().st_size for f in Path("path").glob("**/*")])

python3.5 +

from pathlib import Path

def get_size(folder: str) -> int:
    return sum(p.stat().st_size for p in Path(folder).rglob('*'))

用法::

In [6]: get_size('/etc/not-exist-path')
Out[6]: 0
In [7]: get_size('.')
Out[7]: 12038689
In [8]: def filesize(size: int) -> str:
   ...:     for unit in ("B", "K", "M", "G", "T"):
   ...:         if size < 1024:
   ...:             break
   ...:         size /= 1024
   ...:     return f"{size:.1f}{unit}"
   ...:

In [9]: filesize(get_size('.'))
Out[9]: '11.5M'

当计算子目录的大小时，它应该更新其父目录的文件夹大小，这将一直进行下去，直到它到达根父目录。

下面的函数计算文件夹及其所有子文件夹的大小。

import os

def folder_size(path):
    parent = {}  # path to parent path mapper
    folder_size = {}  # storing the size of directories
    folder = os.path.realpath(path)

    for root, _, filenames in os.walk(folder):
        if root == folder:
            parent[root] = -1  # the root folder will not have any parent
            folder_size[root] = 0.0  # intializing the size to 0

        elif root not in parent:
            immediate_parent_path = os.path.dirname(root)  # extract the immediate parent of the subdirectory
            parent[root] = immediate_parent_path  # store the parent of the subdirectory
            folder_size[root] = 0.0  # initialize the size to 0

        total_size = 0
        for filename in filenames:
            filepath = os.path.join(root, filename)
            total_size += os.stat(filepath).st_size  # computing the size of the files under the directory
        folder_size[root] = total_size  # store the updated size

        temp_path = root  # for subdirectories, we need to update the size of the parent till the root parent
        while parent[temp_path] != -1:
            folder_size[parent[temp_path]] += total_size
            temp_path = parent[temp_path]

    return folder_size[folder]/1000000.0

如果你使用的是Windows操作系统，你可以:

通过以下方式安装pywin32模块:

PIP安装pywin32

然后编码如下:

import win32com.client as com

def get_folder_size(path):
   try:
       fso = com.Dispatch("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
       folder = fso.GetFolder(path)
       size = str(round(folder.Size / 1048576))
       print("Size: " + size + " MB")
   except Exception as e:
       print("Error --> " + str(e))

问题的第二部分

def human(size):

    B = "B"
    KB = "KB" 
    MB = "MB"
    GB = "GB"
    TB = "TB"
    UNITS = [B, KB, MB, GB, TB]
    HUMANFMT = "%f %s"
    HUMANRADIX = 1024.

    for u in UNITS[:-1]:
        if size < HUMANRADIX : return HUMANFMT % (size, u)
        size /= HUMANRADIX

    return HUMANFMT % (size,  UNITS[-1])

这个脚本告诉您CWD中哪个文件最大，还告诉您文件在哪个文件夹中。 这个脚本适用于win8和python 3.3.3 shell

import os

folder=os.cwd()

number=0
string=""

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(folder):
    for file in files:
        pathname=os.path.join(root,file)
##        print (pathname)
##        print (os.path.getsize(pathname)/1024/1024)
        if number < os.path.getsize(pathname):
            number = os.path.getsize(pathname)
            string=pathname


##        print ()


print (string)
print ()
print (number)
print ("Number in bytes")
